It´s been a busy year on all fronts. So here is an odds & sods from the last few months. A fun time was had by all!
Smashing well-known little pounder. Bought from Mr.Heitkotter, a surefire thrustworthy pusher of 45s indeed.
This has been a favorite for years and finally I was able to buy a copy that was in very strong condition. The scan makes the label look worse than it actually is. Love the vocals and the way the song evolves.
Curiosity got the better part of me here. It´s not bad at all, but I would hesitate to call it garage.
I love the completely ramshackle sounds of this. Young Ms. Dianne surely gives it her best shot and is veering close to
real people territory. Backing is the sort of sound I have a soft spot for & was pleasantly surprised to see they had another 45 on the same label that racked up a 5 in tbm. Surely without Ms. Dianne on vocals. I have a hard time imagining she is able to sound moody they way we like moody to sound.
Next one up I stumbled across at a waxidermy set sale. Never heard it before but really liked it. Band has a blog entry somewhere on the internetz giving the full story with sound clips. Labels with the word
custom on them is a bonus.
Lovely instro on a cool label
After an eBay saved search this popped up at a much more affordable price than the current copy floating around courtesy of a certain alice/thomasfunk
Fab instrumental! Flip is an ok protesty thing. Great guitar on this one
Surely the greatest value for money in 2012 in terms of musical power vs price given the quantity turned up? KILLER. And the flip is a winner as well. Rated high in TBM, could just as well have been top 100 in m y o p i n i o n
